We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Fall Is In the Air

10/01/2021

Welcome to our October Team Blog Hop! Fall is my favorite time of the year so I am excited to have this as our topic for this month.

I chose to use the Quiet Meadow Bundle as the focal of my project. What a great stamp and die set. I hope you like my project and my supply list can be found below.

Card Details:

Soft Suede card base. 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored and folded at 4-1/4
Adhere a 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 piece of the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper
Next I used a piece of Very Vanilla CS that was 4 x 5-1/4. To this, you will want to stamp the word stamp in Soft Suede ink all over your Vanilla card stock. Then hand tear the edges so it is approximately 3-3/4 x 5 (does not have to be exact). Next, use a sponge dauber to add Soft Suede ink the the edges and adhere to card front
Die cut flowers and leaves as shown and adhere to card front. I added the Rich Razzleberry and So Saffron flowers with Dimensionals
Stamp words in Soft Suede and die cut. Add to card with Dimensionals
Die die and add butterflies
Embellish with a Bumblebee Trinket, In Color Gems and Gold Cording

We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop - Favorite Mini Bundle

09/01/2021

Welcome to We BEE Stamping Team Blog Hop for September. We are featuring our favorite Bundle from the 2021 Fall/Holiday Mini Catalog.

Mine is favorite is the Whimsical Tree Bundle which also happens to come in a product suite called Whimsy & Wonder Suite Collection. I don't know why but there is something that draws me to non-traditional colors for Christmas time and this definitely is that! Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Misty Moonlight, Mint Macaron and Mossy Meadow are the featured colors of the fabulous designer series paper (Whimsy & Wonder Specialty DSP).

So let's take a look at my project which features a little twist! It is an Easel Card.

Card Details:

You will need: Pool Party Card Stock: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2

Blushing Bride CS: 3-3/8 x 4-1/8

Basic White CS: 3-1/4 x 4, 3-3/8 x 4-1/8, 1-1/2 x 1-1/2

Silver Foil: 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 piece is sufficient (or scraps)

DSP: 2 pieces at 7/8 x 4-1/8

FRONT OF CARD

Pool Party card base, score at 4-1/4 on long side
Cut Pool Party card base on one of the 5-1/2" sides at 1" from both top and bottom to the center score line.
- this will create three flaps on your card front.
- glue down the two 1" flaps
On the two 1" flaps adhere DSP strips (see the holly leaves strips...)
The center flap (Pool Party card base) score at 2-1/8"
Adhere Blushing Bride CS to the BOTTOM of the above flap
Basic White 3-1/4 x 4:
- stamp words in Pool Party ink
- stamp tall tree in Mint Macaron and "dots" with Mossy Meadow
- stamp shorter trees in Mint Macaron at different heights
- die cut 2 tree dies and a bunch of stars from Silver Foil
- adhere three stars to trees
- adhere on top of Blushing Bride CS

INSIDE OF CARD

Basic White 3-3/8 x 4-1/8:
- stamp words in Pool Party
- stamp short, wide tree in Mint Macaron on 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 white CS and die cut
- die cut decorative trim die for above tree in Silver foil and adhere to tree
- adhere tree to Basic White with Stampin' Dimensionals (tree must be popped up)
- glue extra stars around
- adhere 3" strip of Blushing Bride 3/8 Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon
- adhere all above to inside card

Fold on the center score line that you made on the flap and rest it on the popped tree so the card will stand up.

One Sheet Wonder - Delicate Dahlias Sale-a-Bration Set

08/08/2021

Our 2nd Sale-a-Bration (SAB) is under way and there are so many great things, especially with the July-August Mini (holiday) catalog releasing as well.

Here is a One Sheet Wonder I made with the SAB stamp set called "Delicate Dahlias". It is a 2-Step stamp set meaning, the is an outline and filler stamp. Of course, I had to make them in my favorite color purple or in this case, Gorgeous Grape and Fresh Fressia.

So I randomly stamped a full sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 Basic White Card Stock. Below in my supply list you can see the colors I used or you can watch my video. (Well, I will tell you I used several colors... Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Sea Foam, and Soft Succulent).

Let's take a look at how the sheet looked before I cut is up.

Cutting your stamped background:

cut at 4-1/4" on the 8-1/2" side ending with two long strips that are 4-1/2 x 11"
turn and cut those two long strips at 5-1/2" (that will be the 11" side)
you will now have 4 pieces of quarter sheet card stock (or 4 pieces at 4-1/4 x 5-1/2")

trim 2 pieces above to 4 x 5-1/4" (see below cards 5 & 6)
cut 1 of the quarter sheets in half on the 5-1/2" side (end up with 2 pieces at 2-3/4 x 4-1/4). See cards 3 & 4
cut last quarter sheet in half at 2-1/8 on the short side (end up with 2 pieces 2-1/8 x 5-1/4). See cards 1 & 2
Using Contour Dies, die cut six labels in Gorgeous Grape an six small ones in Basic Basic
All card bases are Gorgeous Grape so you will need 3 sheets of card stock cut in half at 5-1/5 on the 11" side

Cards 1 & 2:

Background of Fresh Freesia card stock cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8 and embossed with the New Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder. I added some Brushed Metallic Dots to both cards and some Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon and White 3/8 Glittered Organdy Ribbon. Labels are popped with Dimensionals.

Cards 3 & 4:

I put a mat of Fresh Freesia behind stamped dahlias that is 3 x 4-1/2 for each card. You will need two pieces of the Gold 6x6 Metallic Specialty Paper cut to 4 x 5-1/4". Add Gorgeous Grape sheer ribbon around Fresh Freesia, tie a knot then add to card with Dimensionals. Add labels with adhesive on top and Dimensionals on the bottom. Because it hands off the dahlia piece, you want the label to be flush.

Cards 5 & 6:

These are easy peasy! Adhere your 4 x 5-1/4 stamped pieces to card base. Add some ribbon if you would like (I used a piece of the new Gold Shimmer Ribbon left over from another project). Add labels with adhesive or Dimensionals. Two quick and easy cards.
